Laptop chargers i need help with my laptop. my lap top charger is not working and this is the second time it happen to me so could help me with that

Answers :

It's impossible to say with any certainty without seeing it, but I\015\012suspect a bad wire. Often you can tell easily by moving the wire around\015\012and see if the light goes on or off. Particularly check where it goes\015\012into the power adapter, but also check the cable going from the power\015\012brick to the laptop.\015\012It's possible the connector in the power brick is bad, or some other\015\012loose connection inside it. You could try one more thing, and that\015\012would be unplugging it from the Laptop. If tthe light stays off, it's\015\012likely a bad power brick. They are a 'high stress' point. They have to\015\012supply a lot of power in a small enclosure, with no fan, and they get\015\012beat around a lot. Hopefully it's still under warranty.

Hi, if the battery is new then you need to start looking at things like the charger. If the old battery was used for a long time, and as they have only a few months life span then this puts extra work on the charger due to the fact that when the batt ...
